The scenery in Yunnei is not bad. The grassland is gradually covered with green, the cattle, sheep and horses are flowing in it. The mountains in the distance are also dyed green. The vitality of Yunnei is recovering.
Li Poyuan pointed to the mountains, "There is a lot of coal in these mountains, but it is inconvenient to mine it. Money can't buy anything now. If coal can be mined, it can be exchanged for something."
Li Shimin pressed the horse's rein, shook his head and laughed: "Coal mining is hard work, and burning it into carbon takes a lot of effort. How much is it worth? Who would use it?"
There is no common language, Li Po murmured to himself, I won’t tell you yet, I will build several arsenals in the mountains, and what will be transported out is not coal, but weapons. How much are the weapons worth? Who can use them?
Of course, this is purely boring. Weapons require craftsmen and various ores. It is useless if you only have coal.
However, if enough Turkic scimitars and other things were seized, returning to the furnace would not be impossible, but going into the mountains would be a waste of effort.
Li Xiuning also laughed, but he thought the problem was never the same as that of his brothers.
He tilted his head and asked, "I wonder what Dalang wants to exchange for?"
The two brothers and sisters have been staying in Yunnei for some time. They are not just happy here but they are waiting for the news to come back from the north.
If not for everyone's firm dissuasion, Li Shimin actually wanted to take people to Yunzhong for a tour.
He felt that since he came to Yunnei and the Great Wall was right in front of him, how could he not experience the grassland scenery?
Fortunately, he is not the emperor now. Otherwise, he would probably be no different from Yang Guang. They both like new things and a life of traveling back and forth. This kind of hobby is actually very good for themselves and the people in the world.
Not suitable.
However, Heng'an Town has already sent people out, and as far as Heng'an Town is concerned, there is nothing else to think about.
The movements of the Turks. They must keep track of them at all times and just rely on the watchtowers on the Great Wall, so forget it.
Moreover, what worries Li Po is that if the Turks know that they have suffered such a heavy loss from Yunnei City and the Heng'an Town Army and go south again, they will have to make this place a key target of attack.
Therefore, when Li Bi wanted to send the two siblings away as soon as possible, Li Po dissuaded him.
After some careful consideration, Li Po felt that no matter what aspect he looked at, the Hengan Town Army needed more support. This was a very real problem.
Support from the direction of Jinyang, whether it is in terms of food, officials, or soldiers, will make it easier for the Heng'an Town Army.
Of course, if he knew that his father-in-law had a bad experience in Jinyang, he would definitely not think so. He must be thinking about taking the two brothers and sisters as hostages and making good use of them.
Well, this is all a joke. After knowing in advance the prospect of the Li family meeting gods and killing gods and Buddhas, if he really did it, how much would he feel?
So, for so many days, he left behind a lot of military affairs and entertained them with delicious food and drinks. Now he went out hunting with his two brothers and sisters to relax. Well, what was it called? It seemed like an outing.
Whether it is safari or outing, it is an important entertainment project for the people of Kansai.
When the world was still peaceful, the children of Guanxi were indispensable in the hunting grounds and wilderness outside Chang'an City.
Safaris can show your bravery, hone your sword, bow and horse skills, and compare whose children are stronger and braver. On outings, you can find the person you like and then get married.
Anyway, the brother and sister's activities are easy to control.
Li Po's actions these days are also very consistent. He doesn't get too close, and he's definitely not too far away. He doesn't appear cold or repel people from thousands of miles away, but he definitely doesn't allow others to cling to him or drive him around.
the illusion.
It's hard to grasp the right balance. If Li Shimin came alone, this situation would be very difficult to happen. This is an age where men will become enemies if they don't make friends.`
With the addition of Li Xiuning, that's almost it.
For example, now, the girl's question was a little tricky, as if she meant something, but the smile on Li Po's face immediately brightened a little, and he answered very simply, "What else can I exchange for, of course, food."
"These days, if you have something to eat, you can survive. If you don't have something to eat... it goes without saying, right?"
Li Xiuning was a little disgusted. This person always seemed a little weird when talking to her... She thought for the nth time, this person doesn't have any unreasonable thoughts about her, right?
Not only did she feel this, Li Shimin also felt it very clearly.
He felt that this man was not only weird, but also very courageous. He had just married Li Yaoshi's daughter, and he was already thinking about the daughter of the left-behind family in Taiyuan. If this wasn't weird and courageous enough, he didn't know what to do.
Described.
A womanizer? It doesn’t look like that. When this person talks to his sister, he always speaks a bit vulgarly intentionally or unintentionally. If this can still please his daughter’s family, then that’s a hell of a job, well, except for Li Bi.
.
The daughter of Li Jing's family has become completely wild.
How to put it, the word "weird" is more appropriate.
The two brothers and sisters talked in private, but they all agreed that although this person seemed a little frivolous and his other abilities were not very obvious, there were not many faults that people could find wrong with him when it came to their interactions.
Come.
Li Po was accustomed to hiding his sharpness. He succeeded again this time, and his strategy was appropriate. He attacked his weak points, which was very similar to the art of war.
Li Xiuning was still answering, "With so many cattle and sheep, there should be no shortage of food in Yunnei, right?"
At this time, Li Po smiled secretly and asked, "Have you fallen into a trap?"
He also brought a horse here, as if he thought Li Shimin was in the way, he squeezed over there, and said: "If it is a safe season, everyone should eat less every day, go to bed early, and get up later, so as not to waste your energy, well, that's right.
Just barely enough..."
Li Shimin and Li Xiuning both wanted to laugh. Of course, they had heard enough of this kind of nonsense, and eventually they heard some fallacy.
"But it can't be done now. If the war breaks out, in this area of Yunnei City, you will at least... at least store food for a year. Let me do the math for you. The Turks usually come in the autumn. It's not certain when they will leave. Anyway,
It won’t be past October, right?”
"You can't estimate the losses at this time. Once the war is over, you have to reward your merits and compensate the casualties. If you get nothing, you have to wait until next autumn to gain something."
"Calculating it this way, do you think we are short of food for a year?"
Such a simple question couldn't stump the clever Li Xiuning. He just thought about it and said, "Don't bully me. This year's cattle and sheep can be used until the autumn. The cattle and sheep will be fat after the autumn. Even if the Turks come, as long as you carefully
We should be able to survive the difficulties next year."
Li Po laughed, gave a thumbs up and said, "So smart... I really can't deceive you."
Li Xiuning rolled her eyes sideways and said to herself, "You are the only one who can like me if you don't know how to praise people."
Li Shimin, however, has black lines all over his forehead. Are you trying to coax your children to play?
Can the war be settled in this way? Besides, the meaning of the words is already very clear. Even if the cattle and sheep in Yunnei can last until the autumn, there will not be much left, and next year will be another year of famine.
It is absolutely correct to be short of food for a year, because the algorithm of cattle and sheep is completely different from that of food. After this autumn, it is normal to eat a small part and keep a large part.
In autumn, you have eaten all the cattle and sheep. Do you expect to harvest a crop from the fields?
Li Shimin shook the reins of his horse and was very dissatisfied with Li Po for teasing his sister. This is the treasure of the Li family. As an elder brother, he can just tease her for a moment. Who do you think you are?
However, it's still the same as before, you can't do anything if you are angry. The matter is too small. If you get angry, you will lose both your face and your face.
Riding his horse to push Li Po away, Li Shimin changed the subject and asked calmly: "Speaking of which, Brother Li is a bit unkind in his hospitality."
Li Po was stunned for a moment, is he angry now? Why are you, a man who wants to be the emperor, so restless? Some things are so good in your heart, but wouldn't it be pointless to say them out?
"Erlang is saying..."
After getting along for many days, the call "Erlang" has become very smooth. According to the ordering method of people these days, Li Shimin should call him brother-in-law.
But it's okay to call him "Erlang". Li Shimin and Li Xiuning would never say the word "brother-in-law" to their faces.
Li Shimin made a surprise attack, "I heard that Brother Li was assassinated in Bahianlou. He went through some dangers, but he still let us live there. Could it be that we brothers and sisters..."
What do you think it is? You have been here for so many days and you say you are embarrassed to say it. Hey, who is so quick to talk? Didn't they all tell them not to talk nonsense?
His reaction was not slow at all. Before Li Shimin could finish speaking, he laughed loudly, "The Bamian Tower...many people in Yunnei City say that it is a dangerous place."
"There are not only one or two lives injured there. Last year, the Turks were lured into the city. The Turks were trapped in the city and struggled fiercely. In the end, those who could stand up rushed to the Bamian Tower. The Turks
The blood is flowing from the city gate to there."
"But Erlang, look at it, I'm not afraid of anything even if I just serve wine in the Bamianglou when I get married. Could it be that Erlang, an unrelated person, is afraid of me?"
This was the first time that Li Po responded with harsh words.
Firstly, it is difficult to explain this matter, and it is useless to explain so much. Secondly, he wants to see Li Shimin's reaction, and this kind of psychological evaluation, he can do it wherever he goes.
Li Shimin raised his long eyebrows. After hearing this, he felt uncomfortable, but he only felt that he was negligent. He took the opportunity to question him, just to stop this kid from having to eat and drink all day long.
He, Li Shimin, is the son of Taiyuan Liubei, but not Taiyuan Liubei. It is very boring to make insinuations like this.
I just didn't expect that when I hit him with a palm, I got a fist in return.
